Not enough to be concerned with investing time into studying imo. We're "technically" folding some of our worst AA mp vs ep as well as sb vs ep but it's barely 1% (excluding AAA ofc). AA still insanely strong even in 5c. KK is the major drop off between 5c and 4.
If someone 3 bets in between, there are definitely some that can be thrown away, like with no nut suits and very bad side cards. Because if 1 or even 2 of your Aces are dead, then you have nothing to hope for if your side cards are bad.
You can play any Aces, even AAAAx is a call if you're suited 😀 lol
If you're AAxxx hand contains no suit and is unconnected its pretty easy to fold unless you're on the button. You can make some loose calls with junky AAxxx on the button if you are comfortable just playing the player and with position.
There is no magic formula, its the same basic concept for hand construction. Do I have a nut suit or near nut suit? Am I burning my own outs? How do my cards interact with each other?
Don't over complicate it. If the only part of the hand you like is the AA then fold it.
